Will Wilkes
Will Wilkes studied German and Italian in London and Rome. Now based in Frankfurt, he has spent his working life writing about Germany, travelling across the country to talk with politicians, executives, union leaders, and workers. From terrorism to economic crises to the resurgence of the far right, he has reported on the country’s mounting challenges and fraying social cohesion. He currently writes for Bloomberg and has previously written for Market News International and the Wall Street Journal. He appreciates Germany’s rich music culture – less so the national aversion to queuing.
Will’s first book, written with Chris Reiter, is Broken Republik: The Inside Story of Germany’s Descent into Crisis, published by Bloomsbury.
